Give thanks for the inheritance

God gave the land of these kings as an inheritance -
  His faithful love endures forever.
a special possession to his servant Israel.
  His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136: 21, 22

As the children of Israel were obedient to God's call, He rewarded them. They had to fight the battles, but in faith they knew God was with them, giving them victory over the enemy. When the battle was won, God gave them their inheritance - something that would always remind them of the battle, their obedience, and God's faithfulness. He gave them the very land the enemy had possessed.

Father God, thank you for going ahead of us in battle. Thank you for your faithfulness and love as you give us victory. Please help us stay faithful to you. Help us win the battle and take possession of the inheritance you have prepared. In Jesus' name, Amen.

What battles do you fight today? We pray that you meet the enemy with faith, knowing God is with you and giving you victory!
